Your paintings are so good and beautiful. Actually I like the techniques you use for paintings. Though you did not had all that courses on painting, but still your paintings are so perfect and lovely. This post of yours is one of the useful content to learn acrylic painting.

Thank you...;) I like your ideas too..! I have no art courses or education in this field, so therefore I am not bound to curtain "rules" Hope to get some more space to my painting and art. I have had many request about specific colors and motives. But I always say no to that. It kills the spontaneous flow of expressions I think. And, the more you experiment, the more you get ideas for other projects.

Thank you ! I had no idea 10 years ago when I found out that I needed some pictures on my wall. So, instead of buying them, I tried out myself. And it was fun! Sometimes I have to burn the whole picture outside, but thats ok..hehe ..The most important thing in art and in constructing tools and everything else you need or dont need, is that you TRY, and that you have fun with it. I love the things you have made.. ! And I can see that you enjoy it ,and have lots of ideas more to try out. Thats I`m sure of..! I will follow your projects, and look forward to the next instructable from you my friend. I will post another instructable tonight. I have a webcamera at home. And I want to share how I put it on the internet. And how I make video from it. My webcamera is on http://kjetilegeland.com/webcam.html if you want to see. And on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/user/kegeland . I made some films from my webcams and put here. Talk to you later :) Kjetil

Thank you again.. I am now at work offshore in the North Sea. I have to get home soon, so I can post more videos on Youtube and Instructables. Do you have a webcamera from your home..? I plan to use an old Sony DV camera as a webcam to stream to internet. It has a fantastic zoom and image stabilizer. Do you have any new projects ongoing? I want to make a Vibrating Polisher. I am also interested in your spot welder. And I have started to look for parts for a Tesla coil..

No, Kjetil, I have no webcam, except that of this notebook I use in this moment. My city is flat, then there are few and boring landscapes to show.

I have too many ongoing projects. This days I am trying to learn metal sheet spinning, in order to make a Stirling motor with double conical ended chamber. I did some new improvements to my wood lathe, some new rotating tools, ruined several pieces of metal sheet, did two molds in semi-hard wood, and each day I say "today I must achieve it!".

My main problem is I am alone, having no teacher nor helper. Only Instructables, Youtube and virtual friends. Other projects are unattended solar cooking, fireworks, to make a rope making machine, a valveless pulse-jet motor with only one tube, and others.

Hello again... ;) Nice to hear that you have plans. I would also like to build a pulse-jet engine. I have seen it at school, and it is a hell of a noise from it...! Have you done any aluminium forging, Osvaldo..? I saw there are several instructables here. I would like to try, and make a mold to forge parts for me to machine and plate with nickel ,or anodize it. I like your lathe machine.. both my grandfathers was wood craftsmen and real artists. They dont live anymore, but I can get access to the lathe machine anytime. Another project, is to make my own ROV . I work with that out here offshore. We use a Magnum Plus ROV ,that can go down to about 3000 meter sea depth. Have a nice evening.. hope we keep in touch..!

No, Kjetil, I don't did aluminium forging, but I have an iron thick walls container having a long handle, ready for use it in the forge. Near my home there is an aluminium shop that sells remains at low price (less than 1 U$S/kg). WOW, a ROV is a very great project, hope you have success.

My home-made lathe is too weak to make metal sheet spinning, it pauses when I do a little force. The speed drive belt is the main problem, it slips.
